You can now earn Steam Trading Cards in-game! As we are free to play, you should earn approximately one card drop for every $9 USD spent (the same as all free to play games on Steam that have trading cards).
If you don’t want your cards, send them to me 😛
NOTE: Currently the Founders Packs do not grant trading cards. I have requested Valve allow this, but not heard back on this request yet.
I’ve created a new build for 64-bit Linux users — now you shouldn’t need to install i386 libraries in order to play. You may need to Verify Game Integrity Cache in order to get the new depot.
32-Bit Linux should remain unaffected
Lemme know if it works for you 🙂
I am excited to announce that you can now unlock Steam Achievements while you play the Steam edition of the game. Check out the full list of achievements.
ALL achievements can be earned by all players, although some can be a bit tricky 😉
Some special notes for existing players:
Special Mac note: The overlay doesn’t work on my machine, but the actual unlocking does work.
Fridge / Flowers Fix: There was a bug where the Fridge & Flowers household goods items were poking out through ceilings. If you pick them up and place them again, now they will correctly sort.
Draco Tutorial: Draco gives new players 10 half-sized blocks now. I suspect these will be a bit easier for new players to learn with than the full size blocks.
Shadow/outline tuning: Picking up a block should correctly adjust the outlines of remaining blocks around it now. Shadows on dirt should be more likely to show up. Also, when moving the placement preview block, shadows will only be recalculated as needed.
TV Rename: Modern TV is now officially called Platscreen TV in the shop. Not sure who started calling it that, but you’re a genius. 😛
I’ve just pushed to Steam Mac & Linux builds! I had to rewrite part of the rendering pipeline for Mac, but it seems to be working well so far.
These builds should be considered very beta, so please report bugs that affect these platforms on the forums (or if it just works, that’s good to hear too! ;))
Linux has been tested and is known to work on Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit.
Mac has been tested and is known to work on OSX 10.9.2 (Mac Mini).
Known issues:
I’ve also fixed an issue that affected trading. Trading now has better trade offer validity checking, so if you happen to get hit by phantom inventory objects, those objects won’t appear to be tradeable anymore.
Just uploaded a new build which adds ability to configure your e-mail settings directly — just go menu > options > Account/E-mail Settings
I’ve just added a bunch of new household goods — almost everything we made in the art livestream a couple days ago. The stove pictured above is NOT yet publicly available, as I have some special plans for that 😉
I changed the way items are placed too — most items smaller than a half block will now attempt to horizontally & vertically center themselves within the tile. Also, when placing signs, they no longer snap away from you when you place them.
The ssl certs for the irc server were a bit out of date…
* Valid since Jan 2 23:14:56 2005 GMT to Jan 2 23:14:56 2006 GMT
Okay, maybe a lot out of date :P. Anyhow, they’re valid again now for both the irc server itself, as well as web access. Note if you had the irc web interface bookmarked, it’s got a different path now.
